- Description
This folder contains the communications of Increase Allen Lapham for the year of 1874. Increase Allen Lapham was commissioned by Governor Cadwallader Colden Washburn to head the Wisconsin Geological Survey. The Wisconsin Geological Survey required a large, coordinated effort by a number of people across the state of Wisconsin in order to be completed in a timely manner. As such, many of the letters discuss funding, hiring, data analysis, and updates on survey progress from scientists in the field. Also included are several non survey-related letters. Most of the letters not related to the survey pertain to the quality control testing of well water, as well as inquiries about Native American effigy mounds.
